Chapter 2 Tears of heartbreak and humiliation streamed down my face . Aidens words echoed in my head , each syllable destroying what was left of my self worth . If I hadnt heard it myself , I wouldnt have believed the guy whod passionately made love to me last night could be the same person . I guess you dont need love to be intimate . Even in those moments of intense passion , lies can still fall from your lips . What I foolishly thought was the start of something real was just a joke to them . The more I cried , the worse I felt , trying to muffle my sobs as my body shook . After what felt like forever , my phone buzzed . Aiden : [ Take an Uber home . Got plans with the guys tonight , cant drive you . ] I didnt respond . Aiden : [ Dont forget to get Plan B yourself , Im busy today . Make sure you take it , k ? ] I stared at the messages , speechless . Last night , from dusk till dawn , Aiden had been insatiable . Before we fell asleep exhausted in each others arms, hed drowsily whispered twice : Sorry I wasnt more prepared . Ill get you Plan B first thing tomorrow . Hed even lectured me about taking care of myself , insisting I needed to take the pill to protect my health . Back then , I thought he was being responsible . I thought Id finally found my happiness . And now … Reality hit me like a bucket of cold water . I dug my nails into my palms , forcing myself to stop crying . After cleaning myself up , I left the bathroom . Too embarrassed to go to the pharmacy , I ordered Plan B online . Even then , I waited forever after the delivery driver left it at my door before sneaking out to get it . After swallowing the pill through tears , I collapsed onto my carpet , completely drained . Ever since Aidens family moved next door , Id followed him around like a lost puppy for ten whole 7.2 % Chapter 2 years . Id never imagined a world without him in it . Never wanted to . But now I had no choice . Outside my window , city lights flickered on and off as evening settled in . Time blurred until my best friend Mayas FaceTime lit up my screen . Brooklyn , why arent you at the party with Aiden tonight ? That girl Sarah from AP Lit showed up and shes all over him . Theyre making everyone uncomfortable . Maya flipped her camera around .
